We purchased this wonderful eagle
dancer in New-York in 1997, in an expensive tourists shop specialized
in Indian arts.

This Kachina (traditional Indian
doll representing a spirit) was made by a Navajo artist. I did not know
that Navajos were making kachinas, as Hopis kachinas are more famous.
Hopis also make kachinas representing other tribes, but I don't think
this is the case here.
